[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gyeongsangbuk-do announced on the 8th that it will promote the 'Gyeongbuk-type Hope Job' project, which creates about 20,000 jobs by investing 88.8 billion KRW in the public sector as a support policy to overcome the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), until the end of this year.

This Hope Job project is characterized by an expanded target group so that all residents in need of livelihood support, such as those who have closed or suspended their businesses due to COVID-19, unemployed for more than one month, unpaid leave workers, and youth, can participate. However, recipients of livelihood benefits who receive living expenses support, unemployment benefit recipients, and families of public officials are excluded.

The Gyeongbuk-type Hope Job project includes ▲ Hope Cultivation Project ▲ Gyeongbuk Clean Safety Project ▲ Gyeongbuk Job Hope Inter Program ▲ Local Life Safety Keeper ▲ School Helper Support Project ▲ Traffic Safety Keeper Program, among others. Those who wish to participate can inquire through the websites of the 23 city and county offices in Gyeongbuk, the city and county job teams, or the administrative welfare centers in their local towns and townships.

Kim Ho-jin, Director of the Job Economy Office, said, "I hope that the Hope Jobs will serve as a pillar to stabilize the livelihoods of residents and boost economic vitality amid the unprecedented crisis brought by COVID-19," adding, "We will do our best to discover jobs for the recovery of the local economy and expansion of employment so that vulnerable groups in employment can overcome this difficult time well."
